There is a great beauty in the original, both at this verse and at verse 7th. Thus saith the Lord God, every man; it is man, man, intimating somewhat stronger than the phrase every man, the doubling or reiteration of man. I beg the reader to remark also those two grand and solemn expressions in this passage, first, the Lord's answering him by himself; and, secondly, the Lord's setting his face against that man. Reader! can your imagination fancy anything more solemn or alarming!
Ezekiel 14:4-8
4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
